always heard about so much is who's making money from freddie mac or who's stock holders have caused more foreclosures. but i'm wondering are we hearing any solutions from anyone that vote reverse going to be happy with? >> we're not hearing as much about solutions as we should be. one of the things mitt romney makes a debate about is -- he never brought up the fact that mitt romney back earlier in the campaign said we should let these mortgages fail, let the forecloses go through the process and clean up afterward which would have affected a whole lot of floridians to be able to stay in their home or be on the street and lose their home. he never tied mitt romney to that. he tied mitt romney to how much stock he had. that was a tactile mistake. people are not talking about solutions, how to keep people in their homes, get back to work and move forward. particularly when it comes to the housing market, this is big. president obama has been speaking to it for serval years now. if it comes up in the swing state in the fall, this will probably lean toward president obama's advantage. >>

i sort of think we might have done an ad that more explicitly repudiated the freddie mac distortions. but other than that, i don't think the rest -- i'm not going to -- you can't run around and chase everything that creative consultants can invent. you burn yourself out. i frankly like the gamble we have taken. if you look at our ads, they're very positive. if you look at what news max is doing, it is very positive. if you look at the new video we have released about music education, it is totally positive. i got a picture at the last stop of the new project. part of this is a deliberate contrast. people say they're sick of negative politic, they're sick of washington being bitterly divided, fine. here is a chance to repudiate it. if that become a theme tuesday night and people take it seriously, you might get a very surprising result. >> how is your fund-raising situation? >> good. we're about the same as mccain was in the fourth quarter. i have no idea. i'm not running the campaign. >> -- points of contrast that you'll start to draw or continue to draw in new hampshire with governor
